Tata to manufacture iPhones in India

In a significant development, the Tata Group has announced plans to commence the production of Apple iPhones in India for both domestic and global markets within the next two and a half years. Electronics and Technology Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar made the announcement, emphasizing the government's support for global Indian electronics companies as they collaborate with international brands, marking a crucial shift in Apple's manufacturing strategy.

The move underscores India's rising prominence in electronics production, driven by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiatives to boost local manufacturing and Apple's decision to diversify beyond China amid ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.
